WENDY'S LETTER-BOX

Walter Clarke, Itelioiu.—Poor old cub, ho is having an unhappy time of . it. Caged animals must long to get free again. We are so sorry Inky has died. What did he die of? I am afraid we do not know what a “sinewy colour” is. However, we will risk it and call the new bantam “Chummy.” I hone she will live longer than Inky. Lucy Tuck, Inglewood. —Welcome, Lucy! Where do you play in the basketball team?. We did have some fun the other afternoon. Billikins got all the people*here to go out into his football ground in the paddock. Even Cookie and the Hut Dressmaker came, and then ho and his tutor picked sides. This was supposed to be a football match. It waft so funny to see Cookie trying to kick the ball that I could not do anything, I was so weak from laughing. Anyway we all got warmed up, and it was worth while, Barbara Leonard, Stratford. —I wonder if we have the right answers to the puzzle. Are the strangers frost, cabbage, diminutive, motor-car, impressive and whisky? I wonder if we are right. I let the children argue them out by themselves. There will be another competition soon. You may use crayons, but they have to be used'very well and carefully to be as good ae some of x the paintings, because it is more difficult with paints. Gertrude Seed, • Whangarei.—l am glad your enrolment card travelled all that way safely. You have been up there u long time. Perhaps you will come to New Plymouth some day. You have a large family of dolls. Pam and Baby Margaret had a real dolls’, party on Thursday with Pam’s dollys’ teaset. They did look so pretty sitting under the trees being eo grown up and saying, “Baby will just have a tiny piece of sponge cake,, thank you, Mrs. Brown. I don't think that will do her any harm.”
